This question does not necessarily have an unambiguous answer, because of the way Ian McDiarmid's makeup varies from scene to scene. However, some aspects of the question can be dealt with straightforwardly. In some clips, such as this one, we get a reasonably clear view of Darth Sidious's skin, at least on part of his lower face.
